Mechanisms of action of Methylthioadenosine: pathways implicated in neuroprotection in models of Multiple Sclerosis and other neurological diseases
(BioMed Central, 2010-11-25)
Background
Methylthioadenosine (MTA) has anti-oxidant and anti-proliferative properties and was shown to induce cell protection in hepatic cells. We previously demonstrated that exert immunomodulatory and neuroprotective ...
Visual Outcomes and Management After Corneal Refractive Surgery: a Review
(Elsevier, 2018-06)
Corneal refractive surgery procedures are widely performed to permanently correct refractive errors. Overall, refractive surgeries are safe, predictable and present high rates of satisfaction. Nevertheless, the induced ...
The complex association between the antioxidant defense system and clinical status in early psychosis
(Public Library Science, 2018-04-26)
Oxidative stress is a pathophysiological mechanism potentially involved in psychiatric disorders. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between total antioxidant status (TAS) and the functional status ...
Visual Outcomes And Management After Corneal Refractive Surgery: A Review
(Elsevier, 2018-04)
Corneal refractive surgery procedures are widely performed to permanently correct refractive errors. Overall, refractive surgeries are safe, predictable and present high rates of satisfaction. Nevertheless, the induced ...
Leukocyte telomere length in patients with myotonic dystrophy type I: a pilot study
(Wiley, 2019-12)
Myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1) is an autosomal dominant disease of which clinical manifestations resemble premature aging. We evaluated the contribution of telomere length in pathogenesis in 361 DM1 patients (12 with ...
The Unexpected Co-Occurrence of GRN and MAPT p.A152T in Basque Families: Clinical and Pathological Characteristics
(Public Library Science, 2017-06-08)
Background
The co-occurrence of the c.709-1G > A GRN mutation and the p.A152T MAPT variant has been identified in 18 Basque families affected by frontotemporal dementia (FTD). We aimed to investigate the influence of ...
Microglial phagocytosis: unraveling the role of GPR34-LYSOPS signaling and phagocytic microglia on metabolism and neurogenesis
(2019-06-20)
Las células de microglía constituyen los fagocitos residentes del cerebro. Una de las principales funciones de las células de microglía consiste en la fagocitosis de células apoptóticas. La fagocitosis depende de diversos ...
Parafoveal thinning of inner retina is associated with visual dysfunction in Lewy body diseases
(Wiley, 2019-05-28)
Background Retinal optical coherence tomography findings in Lewy body diseases and their implications for visual outcomes remain controversial. We investigated whether region-specific thickness analysis of retinal layers ...
Familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy type 1 caused by transthyretin mutation Val50Met (Val30Met): 4 cases in a non-endemic area
(Elsevier, 2018-11)
Introduction: Transthyretin-related familial amyloid polyneuropathy (TTR-FAP) typically arises as an autonomic neuropathy primarily affecting small fibres and it occurs in adult patients in their second or third decades ...
Association Between Medication Adherence and Oxidative Stress in Patients With First-Episode Mania
(Frontiers Media, 2019-03-26)
Poor adherence is a major problem in patients with manic episodes that impairs functionality and has unknown effects on oxidative stress. The objective of this study was to analyze the relationship between adherence to ...
